Principality

Principality Building Society - Official Partner

Founded as a mutual building society in 1860, Principality Building Society is a vibrant and indigenous Welsh business and is today, one of the most trusted financial service sector brands on the high street.

With over 500,000 members, employing over 1,000 staff and with a network of 51 branches up and down the Welsh high street, Principality is a significant player in the Welsh economy. In 2010 the Welsh building society celebrated 150 years of expertly looking after its customers' savings, investments and mortgages, delivering great value, coupled with excellent customer service.

As well as delivering outstanding value to members, the Society is proud to be at the heart of the local communities in which it serves by helping the communities in which its members live, across Wales and the Borders. After a long association with rugby in Wales, Principality Building Society provided a massive boost for premier division rugby in Wales when it began sponsoring the domestic league tournament at the start of the 2005-2006 season.

It has now about to enter its 12th season sponsoring the Principality Building Society Premiership, as the 16 leading semi-professional clubs in Wales go head-to-head on a weekly basis in a highly competitive and intense tournament; vital for developing Wales's national game at the very top level.

Principality is a brand with a passion for sport and as an organisation proud of its involvement with Welsh business and the community, the Welsh Rugby Union provided the perfect partnership. Principality believes that the Premiership is pivotal in the Welsh rugby triangle, particularly in helping to develop young talent from the village playing field to the national game.

From January 2016, as part of ongoing support and commitment to Welsh rugby, Principality have entered a new landmark partnership with the Welsh Rugby Union. This partnership will support the national game of rugby at all levels in communities across Wales for the next 10 years and also resulted in renaming the home of Welsh rugby as the Principality Stadium.

"We're mindful that a lot of players did really well in the summer," Warren Gatland tells WRU TV as he explains his side for Wales v Australia this Saturday. Clywch o'r dyn ei hun am y tîm a ddewiswyd ar gyfer dydd Sadwrn.

With less than 12 months until the 2019 Rugby World Cup, head coach Warren Gatland tells WRU TV where Wales are on the road to Japan, reflecting on the past 12 months and and looking ahead to what are his final months at the helm.

The Welsh Exiles programme continues to go from strength to strength. With a dramatic increase of non-Wales based players engaging in the programme over the last two years, it gives all players an opportunity to be involved in the Welsh pathway.

WRU group chief executive Martyn Phillips believes Wales have 'secured the best man for the job' as he announces Scarlets' Wayne Pivac as Warren Gatland's successor when the Kiwi steps down from his role as head coach after next year's World Cup.
